What is Cursillo?
Cursillo is a movement of the Catholic Church focused on deepening your relationship with God, your neighbors, and the world around you.
It begins with a Cursillo Weekend that brings together Catholic men and women who desire to grow in faith through prayer, conversation, learning, and community and discover how Christ is already present in their lives.
Core Experience:
During a Cursillo weekend, you'll explore three foundational Christian concepts:
Understanding God's love for you
Growing closer to Jesus
Building authentic connections with fellow believers
What to Expect:
The Weekend Format:
15 talks given by laypeople, priests, and deacons
Open discussions after each talk
Full schedule of activities and group experiences including opportunities for adoration, confession, and mass
Participate at your own comfort level
Leadership Development: The weekend serves as an introduction to Christian leadership, offering fresh insights into living out your faith in community.
More Than a Retreat:
After the Weekend:
While the schedule may resemble a typical retreat, Cursillo offers something unique: a transformative experience where participants live, work, and grow together as a Christian community.
Cursillo is just the beginning. The three-day experience is designed to launch your ongoing journey of:
Deeper Christian awareness
Active participation in faith community
Personal spiritual growth
We encourage each participant to consider: How will I continue growing after this weekend?
Cursillo is the beginning of something transformative—not a replacement for other spiritual practices, but a powerful foundation for lifelong Christian growth.
“I’d place living Cursillo in the top 3 events of my life. I went into Cursillo stressed, overwhelmed, frustrated and guarded; I emerged totally different and with a restored perspective of the world. Now I see my Catholic faith as part of everything I do. As such, I don’t sweat the small stuff – instead, I direct my focus towards the eternal. This outlook has spilled into our home life; our family is probably the happiest it has ever been.”
— Adam S.Is Cursillo for you?
